My MIL lives about 2 miles from us, which is normally great. She's a sweetheart, and I love that our son gets to see her on a regular basis (at least a few times a week). However, some things are getting a bit out of hand - mainly, the way my son eats at her house, despite the guidelines Grandma knows we have. I speak up, but Hubby won't, and so I am made to be the "bad guy." The other night, my son wouldn't eat his dinner, so Grandma asked if he wanted cookies and ice cream instead. I said no, since he didn't eat dinner. Grandma got up and gave him the treats anyway. Later, she gave him candy without my permission. The next day (he slept over), it was donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast, cookies and Sprite (with aspartame) for a snack, candy and popcorn, a Happy Meal with chocolate milk and fries, followed by more Sprite and cookies. Hubby was there the whole time and shares my beliefs, but won't stand up to "Mommy." What's worse is on the rare times when my wishes are
